DRY ICE BLASTING
FOR CLEANLINESS

Dry ice blasting is an effective solution for industrial cleaning. Its mechanical projection and thermal effect make it one of the best blasting methods, and unlike sandblasting and airbrushing, it does not damage any surface.

The future of industrial cleaning

Dry ice blasting involves cold blasting with dry ice (solid CO2 at -78.5°) and a stream of compressed air. The combination of extreme cold and mechanical impact acts in a complementary way to immediately detach pollutants from the contaminated surface.

This process is made possible by the sublimation of dry ice.

Why use dry ice blasting?

ECOLOGICAL CLEANING

> No secondary waste
> No water required
> Derived from the recycling of carbon dioxide

NON-ABRASIVE STRIPPING

> Against rust, grease and dust
> Does not alter surface quality
> Non-conductive, so effective for cleaning electromechanical parts

FAST AND EFFICIENT

> Reduces machine downtime
> Fastest cleaning method
> Rapid intervention

Fields of application

Focus on dry ice blasting

MECHANICAL EFFECT

The projection of dry ice is such that it has a powerful impact on dirt.

THERMAL EFFECT

The infiltration of ice micropellets weakens the structure of the pollutant, triggering its detachment.

SUBLIMATION EFFECT

Sublimation allows pollution to evaporate and dry ice to evaporate without leaving any residue.

Comparison of industrial cleaning methods

> Remove dirt in record time

The projection of solid CO2 particles (“dry ice blasting”) through the use of a spray nozzle loosens encrusted dirt on surfaces. This dry cleaning is effective against traces of mould, soot, grease and dust.

Dry ice blasting is recognized as 4x faster than conventional methods, while respecting the materials and the area being treated. It’s a formidable ally when it comes to avoiding prolonged machine downtime in factories and businesses.

Frequently asked questions

How is dry ice produced?

Dry ice is produced from liquid carbon dioxide, which is stored under high pressure. At a temperature of -78.5°C, it transforms into a gas that is shaped into pellets or blocks using a pelletizer.

At Puroxus, we guarantee pure dry ice, made in the West Indies, to suit our customers’ every need.

Can I have dry ice delivered?

Yes, we deliver dry ice to Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélémy. We offer different dry ice formats, such as pellets or blocks, to suit your specific needs.

We attach great importance to the quality of our dry ice and its preservation, to ensure that you receive the highest quality dry ice for your applications.

Contact us to find out more about our delivery options and to place your order today.

How long does Puroxus dry ice blasting last?

An industrial cleaning job can vary according to the size and complexity of the area or property to be cleaned.

In general, dry ice blasting is a fast, time-saving method compared with traditional cleaning methods.

In fact, cold stripping enables surfaces to be effectively cleaned without the need to dismantle or move equipment. What’s more, dry ice blasting requires no drying time, as the dry ice evaporates immediately after application.

We draw up a realistic time estimate based on the specific needs of your project.

Is dry ice blasting more effective than other stripping methods?

Dry ice blasting is considered one of the most effective cleaning methods available today. Compared to sandblasting, air/hydroblasting, or chemical cleaning, cryogenics offers major comparative advantages:

> Greater cleaning efficiency thanks to its ability to clean deep into hard-to-reach areas,
> A significant reduction in cleaning time, as it is quicker and requires no dismantling of equipment,
> A more environmentally-friendly cleaning method,
> A waterless, non-conductive process.

In short, dry ice blasting is a powerful, fast and environmentally-friendly cleaning method that offers superior cleaning results compared to other cleaning technologies.

Is it dangerous to handle a cryogenic machine?

Cryogenic machines used for cleaning can be hazardous if handled incorrectly or used improperly. However, our technicians are trained in the use of these machines and are equipped with personal protective equipment, while working in compliance with current safety standards to minimize risks.

That’s why it’s important to use a specialized, qualified company to carry out dry ice blasting in complete safety.
